Eternal Summer: Alexandra Cassaniti's Madcap Fall Collection

By Nicole Schlomann

Almost everyone loves summer, and no one ever wants it to end. So we can't blame Alexandra Cassaniti for creating a fall collection called "Summer Two" that features enough lightweight painted T-shirts, beachy canvas backpacks, and stylish wetsuits to carry you through the warmer days of autumn. That's right—we said stylish wetsuits.

A Los Angeles native through and through, Cassaniti has created water-proof leggings, one-pieces, structured "bralettes," and even a neoprene beret to transition from street to surf. Sleek and surprisingly functional, these pieces fit in comfortably with the collection's quirky mix of hand painted totes and pouches, lightning-bolt-emblazoned surfboards, and color-changing neon shades. For any beachcomber, these sunny staples are the perfect substitute for a never-ending summer.
